Carrot and Broccoli Casserole
My sister, Laura, has the sweetest Mother-in-Law named Rose! Whenever we go over Laura’s house for a holiday, birthday party, or special celebration, you can bet that there will be several, impeccable dishes that were lovingly prepared by Rose.
Rose puts her heart and soul into all of her dishes. She is thrilled when we enjoy all of her goodies and traditional recipes. It totally makes her day.
One of the recipes that Rose has made over the years is this Carrot and Broccoli Casserole. Laura often brings it to our family gatherings and I make it for my own family and guests. In fact, it’s the only vegetable dish that my son, Andrew, really loves!
This recipe has a secret ingredient! We use 1½ teaspoons of McCormick Garlic Powder. I know you all like using fresh garlic, but it really needs garlic powder for this recipe. The seasoning is so flavorful! We love it!
Be sure to use fresh ground black pepper. It makes a huge difference! I buy McCormick Whole Black Peppercorns for my pepper mill. I have been grinding my own pepper for years decades!
Whenever I make this casserole, I think of Rose and my sister Laura, and all of the delicious meals they have shared over the years!

You are so right…some dishes just NEED garlic powder instead of fresh garlic. It’s different and necessary! Love your recipe. Will make it!
